Iowa — Rainfall normally drops off as we head into November, but that hasn’t been the case as we approach the midway mark of the month. National Weather Service meteorologist, Dillon Dodson, says we should see more rain today (Wednesday), starting on the western side of the state.
Western Iowa is forecast to see between a quarter and three-quarters of an inch of rain, with one-tenth to half an inch in the east. Dodson doesn’t anticipate any severe weather with the rain.
Dodson says rainfall amounts vary across the state and many places like Des Moines are running well ahead of normal.
The temperatures are expected to warm up through this week.
Dodson says the ground isn’t yet frozen, so a lot of that rain we get should soak into what has been dry soil.
